Knock your socks off

Teenagers can make their own sex ed videos and win thousands of dollars for college and/or just plain cash. Most people will have sex in their lives – and the vast majority of women and men will have had sex – even just once or twice – by the time that they are in their early to mid twenties. About half of young women and men will have tried sex by the time they leave high school. So why not teach them about sex and how to reduce the risk of infection and unintended pregnancy, what to expect at the gynecologist, the importance of testicular and vulvar self-examinations (even if one is NOT sexually active) and such?

I was brought up with decency. You are all children. Neither should these things be posted as such. A well rounded education consists of the Arts. Graphic Art has no place in the educational discourse other than how to prevent STD’s or prevent unwanted pregnancies. Please feel free to OBAMACIZE here. My conservative friends and I will go to the Nerdery with our notebooks and pads to figure out why no knowledge has permiated your brains’. Together all of the other henchmen will go worship our demagouges debating how we will dominate the universe, and no, the cling ons won’t be with us. They’ll be washing our laundry!

In Case You Missed It

October 11th was National Coming Out Day, which was established after the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. This celebration of identity is intended to promote equality, safety, and tolerance for all, regardless of sexual identity.

I have several friends who are medical professionals, as well as a few friends who work as patient instructors. They teach nursing, nurse practitioner, and medical students how to give medical exams by playing the role of a patient.
